* BrightIsNotGood:
** The Dark Ones seen through the portal are various different, fairly bright and vivid colors.
** The Dark One Worm [[spoiler: hatched from planet Shuggazoom]] is purple-white on the outside, and uses bright purple tendrils, while having a sometimes-flashing/constantly-shifting, rainbow aesthetic to its throat, innards, and some of its powers and abilities. In this case, they serve to highlight its [[EldritchAbomination eldritch, otherworldly]] nature.


Added DiffLines:

** And even beyond that, we have the [[GodOfEvil "Vile Cosmic Force"]] that ''spawned them'' in the first place. Only depicted ''once, for a few seconds'' in exposition, but ''utterly terrifying''.

** Him being an EvilOverlord with an undead skeleton motif could also a reference to Skeletor from ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983''. The similarities get more obvious with Skeleton King's post-resurrection design.

Do the Skeletor and Horned King similarities make him qualify as a Shout Out instead?

*** Mark Hamill would later go on to ''voice'' Skeletor himself in ''WesternAnimation/MastersOfTheUniverseRevelation''.
** He also looks very similar to the Horned King from ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'' in both appearance and voice.

An Expy must be a clearly deliberate reference on the part of the author; superficial or random coincidental similarities (even very striking ones) do not qualify


* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: The monkeys had the same fur colors back when they were normal monkeys. Antauri's black, Nova's yellow, and Mandarin's orange aren't unusual, but then there's bright red (Sprx), blue (Gibson), and green (Otto).



* UpliftedAnimal: All the robot monkeys were normal monkeys originally. Being turned into cyborgs by the Alchemist gave them human intelligence.



* InnocentlyInsensitive: In "A Ghost in the Machinder", he's quick to dismiss the idea of the Super Robot being able to think for itself, saying "Machines ''cannot'' have a ''soul''." And he says this to [[spoiler:''Antauri'', who now has a fully robotic body due to recently being brought BackFromTheDead]].

* TemporarilyAVillain: In the Season 4 finale, Sprx gets corrupted by the [[ArtifactOfDoom Fire of Hate]], forcing him to turn against the Hyperforce and help Valeena and Mandarin bring back the Skeleton King.

* AliensOfLondon: Gibson has a British accent in spite of being a native of the planet Shuggazoom like Chiro and the other robot monkeys (all who lack said accent).



* UnexplainedAccent: Creator/TomKenny does a British accent for Gibson, even though every other character from Shuggazoom ''and'' the aliens sound American.



* PerpetualFrowner: He's constantly frowning throughout his episode.



* {{Expy}}:
** He's based on and named after Dokuro King, a Henshin Cyborg villain released as a 12" toy in 1972 by Takara in Japan.
** Him being an EvilOverlord with an undead skeleton motif is also a reference to Skeletor from ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983''. The similarities get more obvious with Skeleton King's post-resurrection design.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: When the monkeys still lived with the Alchemist, he was the who caused the portal to the Dark Ones' dimension to malfunction. This enabled one of them to corrupt and turn the Alchemist into Skeleton King in the first place.]]



* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: When the monkeys still lived with the Alchemist as his normal pets, Mandarin accidentally caused the portal to the Dark Ones' dimension to malfunction. This enabled one of the Dark Ones to corrupt the Alchemist, turning him into the Skeleton King.]]



* {{Expy}}: He's a dead ringer for [[Film/{{Psycho}} Norman Bates.]] AbusiveMom, villainous stalking, talks to himself a lot, doesn't take no as an answer, he fits the bill.

* MeaningfulName: He's named after Pinball/{{Varkon}}, a pinball game, and the UsefulNotes/Commodore64, a game console, a fitting name for an evil, deeply-obsessed gamer.
